age. But his physical infirmities and suf-
ferings impaired the vigor and consisten-
cy of his mind, while they often soured
his temper and caused those sudden capri
ces which lost him many friends and made
his greatest admirers almost afraid to in
dulge in the society of one the charm of
whose conversation was otherwise ire
sistable. This, however, 1 will say of him,
that whatever may have been the infirmi-
ties of his temper, his principles We're of
the most high, and, indeed, lofty charae-
ter. His integrity was exemplary, and
his devotion to the great principles of lib
erty consistent and profound.

Randolph is rather subject of admira-

proud of him as an orator without an
equal among his contemporaries and as a
man who with all his faults was possessed
of many virtues of the very highest order
On the whole, however, it is only as a
man of great and shining genius that his
example is calculated to excite the ambi-
tion of youth and produce salutary conse
quences. 1t would be unsafe to make
him model, for with all his talents he
neither attained to happiness himself nor
conferred it upon others"

IN 4 DREAM.

lRev. w. S. Lacy in n. c. Speaker
She lies in sweet and placid sleep,
As bound by u magic spell:
The eyes are closed that were wont to weep,
And the bosom So used to swell
With hidden grief hath found relief
In the trance of that wizard spell
The breeze is PLAYING with tangled hair,
A smile with her parted lips
The blood is mantling her face so fair
A nd pinklng her tingertips,
AS in dream, with radiant gleam
From memOry's cup she sips.
She sees him now where he used to stand
In the moonlight weired ami sweet,
Meath the old oak trees all gnarled and
grand,
While at their lettering feet
The quivering shade the young leaves made
Mocked their hearts trembling beat.
She hears him now rs with husky voice
He tells the treasured tale;
With lil-hld Joy she knows his choice,
Yet wondering, mute and pale
Aud on that nigh. in dim moonlight,
He whispers the strange, sweet tale.
And in the thrill of that new found ioy
Her heart is all atame,
While wished for bliss without alloy
Drives far all grief and shame:
In fond surprise she Opes her eyes
And finds her joys-a dream!
From the dreams we have cherished long.
We cheat ourselves with whisperings soft
That life is Il summers song:
Waking at last. when life has past
Find all our dreaming wrong,
Yet is it wrong to taste the bliss,
Though tieoting aud false it seem>
Is Pleasure sin. and joy amiss
Because tbs Il transient gleam2
Nay, bless the One who grants the boon,

two very eminent men of their day-John

of two very distinguished men, with whom

He was very extraordinary man, whose

MIR. BEECHER,S NOVEL.

There are not wanting men and women
who think that preachers ought not to read
novels. What would these people say to
preachers writing novel? This ques-
tion was doubtless present to the mind OF
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher when, in Janu-
ary 1855, he received a letter from Robert
Bonner, editor of the New York Ledger,
Offering to pay him $24, 400 to write a
story, not less than seventy-five columns
in length, for the Ledger. Mr.. Beecher
accepted the proposition and went earnest
ly to work to construct plot, invent the
characters, and write the story. 1t ap-
peared in the Ledger, the circulation OF
which increased wonderfully, justifying
Mr.. Bonners sagacity and enterprise. 1t
was afterwards issued in book form and
1000 copies were sold.
Since Mr. Beecher's death Norwood" :"
for that IS the name of the novel, has been
re-published. A copy from Fords, How
ard & Hubert, New York, Price 81 .25)
has been sent us for review. We have
read it with much pleasure. Is is re-
freshing book-a story of New England
life, with all the quaintness, Wit, and char
acteristics of New Englanders. Norwood
was quiet New England town, and the
story opens with a description Of the town
in the growth of the hero and heroine.
The heroine goes South to teach just be-
fore the war. Suffering and heroism break
down the hindrances between hero and
heroine.
1t is a novel, but it is more than a novel.
1t is study in botany, in humanity, in
the good and the beautiful. One of the
characteristic doctor-teaches in charm
ing way the lesson of looking through ma
ture up to God. Like the thoughtful Jac-
ques, he
Finds tongues in trees, books in running
brooks,
Sermons in stones and good in every thing.
1t is a VERY GOOD BOOK-and we use the
words with emphasis. No man can read
it without learning more of nature, and Of
God, and receiving stimulus to right
living.

WORkMEN AND WEALTH.
Mayor Hewitt Speaks Words of Wisd ON
to FiremeM.

mayor f1eW1II speaks " OruS Oh W lS0 ON
to Firemen.
There was a big meeting of the Engi-
neers and Firemen in New York, Sunday.
OF all the labor organizations that we
know anything of, the plans OF this Broth
erhoOd seem to Us to be the fairest. At
this meeting, Mayor Hewitt made a speech
of welcome. In it he said many good
things. We have not room for the speech
in its entirety. We quote few Of the best
extracts:
Il was taken by surprise, aid the May
or, when | was asked to make a speech of
welcome to the city of New York for an
association of workingmen on the Sabbath
day; but when | recall that the Sabbath
was made for man and not man for the
Sabbath, l believe that there can be moth
ing higher or holier than a gathering of
this kind. This is a highly proper use of
the Sabbath day and hope this example
will be followed by other societies. x
Referring to the Anti-Poverty Society,
he said: II joined society TO abolish
poverty forty years ago. ] said TO myself,
| am poor, and I will abolish my own por-
erty. If every man will but set about to
abolish poverty in his own case it will dis
appear. But there are many people who
do not want poverty abolished -tramps,
bummers and lazy fellows who live on
poverty. There is no poverty which can
not be abolished if every one would but
set about it IN his own case. Applause.
| am much gratified at this invitation, be
cause it came from men who not only earn
their daily bread, but who also seem to
understand the relations between capital
and labor"
Picking up a copy of the constitution of
the brotherhood from the table the Mayor
continued: ''In this preamble which you
have adopted you tell US that the interests
of yourselves and your employers are
identical. You have the truth. You can
not make an enemy of capital The kit
of tools with which an artisan works and
the little savings which he has put by for
a rainy day are capital. We cannot all
be rich, but every man who has become
rich by the force of his intellect and en-
ploys labor is a public benefactor Or
ganization is good and necessary for work
men, but yOu must not say to man, Join
this society or die
l find that there are 80, 900 locomotive
fremen in the United States, and that You
have only Il, 900 of these in your organi-
zation. If every one of these 80, 900 men

railroad, even the New York Central Rail
road
l want to make this public declaration
that | believe in the absolute right of
workingmen to organize for protection
and mutual benefit, but it is a terrible
thing to say. You mnst join our society
or die This stirs up rebellion in the free
Americans heart. 1t was for the princi-
pie that every man can take care of him
self that the last war was fought in this
country, and in which some of you doubt
less were engaged. The denunciations
which have been leveled at me for my
opinions on this matter may be too much
for me; may go down under them, but
the eternal truth will prevail"

PROTECTION AND COMMUNISM
ARE ONE.

The man who believes it is the right and
duty of the Government to take the earn
ings of one citizen by taxation, or other
wise, and give them TO another, differs
very little from the man who denies the
right of property altogether. If the gov
ernment may rightfully compel you by
law to give any part of the proceeds OF
YOUR labor or Your skill to another man,
why may it not, with equal right, compel
you to give him your horse or your landI-
Extract from Speaker Carllsle's speech in
the Kentucky State Democratic COnven-
ton.
This is the first time the Protective
Tariff has been shown up as it really is.
Speaker Carlisle has done a great service
to the country by this striking and clear
statement of the objects of Protection.
''Robbery under the form OF law the
Supreme Court said it was. Mr.. Carlisle
calls it Communism. Commenting on it,
the ST. Louis Republican Dem.) says:
'sThe government has no more real author
ity for taking $40 from the scanty income
of Nebraska farmer and giving it to the
wealthy owner of a saw mill in Wisconsin,
or to wealthy woolen goods manufac-
turing company in Rhode Island, than it
would have for taking one of the Rhode Is
land manufacturers houses and giving it
to a tenant free of rent charge"
Let this be the slogan of Tariff Reform,
Communism and Protection. The Demo
cratic party is charged with the duty OF
fighting Communism IN all it's forms it
hao no UorSe form than Protection. because
Protection is it's most insidious guise.
The men who are the most severe in
their denunciation of Communism are the
very men who most loudly demand Protec-
ton. But while Protection and Commun
ism stand at the opposite ends of the line,
they are brothers and stand upon the same
foundations. The manufacturers of New
England have been made rich because the
government gave them the power to legally
rob the farmers of the country. They
stand affrighted now that Henry George
publicly advocates c0nfscating land and
has many followers.
Now that they # ar dose Of their own
medicine they turn pale. and cry "down
with this robbery" The Democrats join
them in their cry bnt they add "And down
with both of the gigantic robberies Pro
lection and Communism.
Speaker Carlisle has sounded the key
note of future fights for Tariff Reform:
Communism and Protection must go-and
the Democratic party must put it's heel
upon both.
